Did they have rooms above the bar for rent or was it just a bar / restaurant business?John Bingham wrote: ↑Wed Jun 29, 2022 9:12 pm The rents around the riverside are ridiculously high. I would guess that it would be around $2000 a month in that formerly good location. The FCC has been closed for years now. The building opposite used to have some okay bars with big balconies and nice views. Unfortunately they put glass all around them, and the music they play is painful. It's not really a good location anymore. The expected influx of tourists hasn't really materialized and that area is struggling. All part of a much larger plan. The Chinese shop houses that make up most of the riverside are not big enough to capitalize on, so the way I see it it will gradually be replaced by larger and more profitable high rise blocks. Time is on the tycoon's side, they don't need scruffy backpackers.

I think its the problem with any bussiness in PP, only the landlords get rich from it. I still cant remember one bussiness really made money in PP runned by a barang and serving drink and/or food. Maybe with Covid more people realise that they are filling a bothemless hole. As long a the rents stay like that, i will be sitting on the "good side" from the bar. But of course, 99% of the guys who are going bankrupt on these kind of bussiness wont tell it !!

Correct me if I am wrong but her husband is a barang, she told me some time ago that they tried to get a rent rebate, but was unsuccessful. Then again to be fare it also depends on what position the landlord is in, if he has a mortgage on the property or whatever. Maybe the lease wanted renewal at this time, it's a huge commitment, and even more so if you're not covering costs.
I agree the place will be sadly missed.
Always "hope" but never "expect".

Re: Rising Sun
It was originally owned by an English guy, as I mentioned earlier. As far as I know he sold it to Clive, a retired Australian soldier. He had been in Cambodia during UNTAC. He didn't know much about music though so it always seemed funny chatting to him with Sid Vicious smoking a spliff in the background. He became ill a long time back and has been in Australia for maybe a decade. I'm pissed I didn't drop in for so long and now it's gone. It should always be remembered for its Apocalypse Now style sign that inadvertently used the Disney font.
Silence, exile, and cunning.
Re: Rising Sun
If you do manage to turn an empty shell into a thriving business the landlords will keep a very envious eye on it. As an example, I understand that Bouchon Wine Bar had a nice place and built a good business and their landlord tried to triple the rent upon lease renewal time. The landlords are parasitical and if you have done a good job and built a thriving business (through skill, experience and hard work) they think they deserve their share of it.Bongmab69 wrote: ↑Wed Jun 29, 2022 9:47 pm I think its the problem with any bussiness in PP, only the landlords get rich from it.

They moved and now have a beautiful building in street 174.
Re: Rising Sun
Same thing happened to Equinox on St.278. Thriving music venue with good food downstairs. Landlord apparently tripled the rent. Hence it laid empty for years. Hope it hurt the landlord.

Re: Rising Sun
Sad news but considering the number of posters saying "It was great but I haven't been for years" may well be a clue as to why.
